The World's First Yoan Wedding

Here are some excerpts from the first Yoan wedding that demonstrate what a marriage ceremony based on the World's First Open Source Religion can look like. This is what happens when people join together in matrimony before a community steeped in enlightened rationality and the mystical spirituality of empirical wonder.

The first Yoan wedding took place on Memorial Day 2010 on the banks of the Sandy River outside of Portland, Oregon. It was performed by Dr. Daniel Kriegman.

Note that Don and Jenni, the couple getting married, co-wrote the ceremony along with Dr. Kriegman. The wedding couple selected those Yoan memes that rang true for them. For more detail and clearer explication of these and other Yoan themes, see The Word, According to Yo, from which much of the wedding ceremony was taken.

As The World's First Open Source Religion, the Way of Yo teaches us to take the perceptions and reactions of other divine humans as indications of our progress (or lack thereof) toward our goal of creating the clearest possible expression of the Truth, as revealed by Yo (Reality).
